When It Comes To Love, YOU NEVER KNOW - sunshinehkl (best autobiographies to read txt) 📗

wanted to meet her that day? However, Kiara didn’t get to duel on these thoughts for long as some stupid passayby suddenly jumped in front of her car as he tried to cross the road in full traffic. Kiara cursed as she stopped her car just in time to avoid any collision. However, the driver of the car beside her was not so lucky as her and in order to avoid hiting the maniac, had to take a sharp turn which led the car bump into Kiara’s.

 

“Ouch!” Kiara exclaimed as her head hit the staring wheel due to the collision.

 

The driver of the other car immediately got out of their car and ran up to Kiara.

 

“Are you alright?”

 

Kiara looked up to see a guy looking at her with concern.

 

“Yes, I am alright. Are you?”

 

“Yes I am. Oh, I am so sorry! I..”

 

“It’s okay. I know it wasn’t your fault. You were just trying to save that moron.”

 

The guy opened his mouth again to say something but was interrupted by an impatient car horn that was coming from behind.

 

“Umm, I guess, we need to start moving. We are blocking the road after all.”

 

The guy hesitated.He gave her another concerned look and asked, “Are you sure that you are alright? I mean, I saw that you hit your head on the staring wheel. I can take you to the hospital if you want.”

 

“I am fine, really, you have nothing to worry about. However, thanks for your concern.” She replied him quickly as some more cars honked impatiently. “But, look, we really need to start moving.” Kiara told him urgently.

 

Although still a bit hesitant, he nodded and got back to his car and as soon as he pulled his car away from hers to give her car enough space, Kiara drove away without giving him a second glance.

“So what is it?” Kiara asked staring straight into Heather’s eyes.

 

“What do you mean?” Heather asked nervously lowering her eyes.

 

KIara sighed. “Look Heather, it’s been already half an hour since I came here and in this half an hour all you have done is engage me in idle chitchats. And as much as I love these idle chitchats with you, I know that’s not the reason that you wanted to meet me alone without Brian’s presence. Something is bugging you, I can tell that just by looking at you and you need to tell me what.”

 

Heather bit her lips in nervousness.

 

“Umm, I don’t know if I should tell you this.”

 

“Don’t you consider me a friend?” Kiara probed.

 

“You know I do.” Heather replied softly.

 

“Then tell me what’s wrong.”

 

“Umm. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, I do. It’s just..I just don’t know how to approach this subject or how you may react to it.”

 

Kiara froze. Could it be that her fear really did come true? Could it be that Heather really wanted to meet her to tell her that she was tired of her presence around her and Brian all the time and found her relationship with Brian lacking because of that? However, she pushed this worries aside and focus on Heather instead.

 

“Try me.” She told her with a forced smile.

 

“Okay, but, you might find this silly.” She said nervously.

 

This time Kiara smiled genuinely as somehow the nervous look on Heather’s face made her look adorable and innocent like a children. “It’s okay, Heather, just spit it out.” She reassured.

 

“Okay, I feel that.. I’m afraid that.. I mean It seems to me that...”

 

“Heather!”

 

“I think that Brian don’t really like me.” Heather blurted out.

 

“What?” Kiara exclaimed with shock and then just gaped at her. Then suddenly she burst into laughing clutching her stomach.

 

“I told you that you might find this silly.” Heather grumbled while pouting like a little kid.

 

“Silly? SILLY? This is beyond something than just silly! My god, Heather, how on earth did you end up into a conclusion like that? That moron is practically crazy about you!”

 

“It’s just... It’s just...the way he acts around me. I mean of course, he is always sweet, and nice and caring, but..but..somehow he is always formal to me, I mean he never really comes close to me.”

 

“What do you mean?” Kiara asked frowning with confusion.

 

“You know....” Heather lowered her eyes while blushing furiously.

 

Kiara’s eyes became wide as realization dawned on her. Then once again she burst into laughing. “And that’s why you ended up thinking that he doesn’t like you? Because, he is not taking things with you to the next level? Oh my God, this is just so funny!” Her whole body shook with laughter.

 

“ I’m already enough embarrassed as that, do you have to make it worse by laughing like that?” Heather pouted.

 

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Kiara said as she tried to sober up. “I guess it is only natural for you to think like that, I guess any normal person would think like that but Heather let me tell you one thing, that moron is not being formal with you. Rather he is only being a gentleman to you. And trust me, although it might not look like this but this way he is actually being romantic to you in his own way.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Brian is really serious about relationships Heather. He doesn’t believe in rushing into things or doing things just out of impulse. For him, everything in a relationship is meaningful. Every moment is perfect. He wants to devour each of this moments. Really, Heather, you are worrying for nothing. He is simply taking things slow with you. Not because he doesn’t care enough for you, but because he cares to much for you.”

 

“But Kiara, we’ve been dating for one month now, and in this one month, he had never even kissed me, not even once. Wouldn’t it strike you odd?”

 

Kiara cringed inwardly. It was somehow weird to imagine Brian kissing someone or discuss the reason of his not kissing his girlfriend with his girlfriend. After all he is the guy she has known all her life and picturing him like that is just, plain weird! She could only hope that in the future Heather would not want to talk with her about their sex life as well. Now, that would be just too gross. However, she pushed these thoughts aside and focused on answering the question that Heather just asked her.

 

“If it was someone else, then yes, it might’ve struck me odd. But since it’s Brian, it’s only natural. That guy holds some ridiculous ideals about romance! Do you know what his favourite book genre is? Historical freaking romance of all things! He had always been a fan of old fashion romance and wanted to lead his own love life in the old fashioned way as well. Actually, this is the only kind of romance that he understands. While you are worried because he has never kissed you yet, that moron probably doesn’t even have any idea that he was supposed to have kissed you by now. That guy is totally born into the wrong century, I tell you!”

 

“But it’s just a simple kiss!” Heather exclaimed with surprise.

 

“But that’s the thing! You see, for Brian, it’s not just a simple kiss.To him, it means much more. One thing you need to understand about Brian is that, he is really emotional. You know, before you Brian never had a girlfriend. And when I say that you are the first girl in his life, I mean it in every possible way. Do you know why he remained single all this time? Because, he doesn’t believe in meaningless dating. He doesn’t believe in crushes or infatuations. For him, there’s only one feeling, and that’s love, “true love” as he says. And you see, you are the only girl that he had ever fallen in love with. Just like that, Brian’s every other action is driven by his emotions. Everything he does for you, he does with the utmost sincere feeling of his heart. He wants to make everything perfect and magical for you. He is not used to things of conventional relationships. So what is to you “just a simple kiss”, for him it’s his first kiss and thus means a lot to him than you or I could probably able to understand.”

 

“Oh!” Heather responded in a daze. She was truly mesmerized by what she had just learned about Brian from Kiara.

 

“Well, yeah. I guess there are more than one reasons that why Brian haven’t kissed you yet. One, since it’s his first kiss, being the romantic fool he is, he wants to make it all perfect and magical and therefore he is waiting for the perfect moment, two, because he is too shy of a guy and to much of a gentleman, three, since he has never done it before, he has no idea how to initiate it, and four, since he is such an innocent and clueless guy, he probably doesn’t even have the idea that he is supposed to initiate it. Now, are you satisfied with the answer?”

 

“You bet!” Heather grinned. “Oh, I can’t believe that all this time I’ve been worried about our relationship for nothing! Thank you kiara, thank you, thank you thank you! I can’t express how happy I am right now because of you.”

 

Kiara, however frowned as something occurred to her. “On second thought, I believe that you should be worried about your relationship with Brian. You were just doing it the wrong way.”

“What do you mean?” Heather asked with worry echoed in her voice.

Chapter 9

"What do you mean?" Heather asked with worry echoed in her voice.

"I mean that you should not be worried about your relationship thinking that Brian is not serious about this but that Brian is too serious about this relationship, maybe more than you can handle."

Heather frowned. "I don't understand."

Kiara took a deep breath and proceeded to explain everything to Heather while silently praying that she doesn't get scared by what she was about to going to tell her. "Look, as I've already told you, Brian is a serious guy. He takes everything in his life seriously and plans for the future accordingly. And his relationship with you is no exception. I don't know what you are expecting from this relationship, but I know what Brian is expecting from this relationship. Everything. He expects everything from this relationship. Marriage, children, a future, everything! He would want to grow old with you, and die by your side. He'd want to go all the way with this relationship. So you need to carefully consider everything. I know it's too early to dump all this on you, you are probably freaking out just by hearing the word "marriage" so soon into a relationship, but I wanted to give you a clear idea of Brian's view of relationships so that you can comprehend and compare if you want the same things from this relationship and can have the time to back away from it if it's not the same for you, before it's too late."

Heather was stupefied. She just stared at Kiara as if she has just seen a creature from another universe and after a long agonized silence, she just whispered "wow!"

"So what do you think?" Kiara asked nervously.

"What do I think?" Heather exclaimed and then grinned broadly, "I think that I
